I really hope this isnt true:
Witness: Police Pointed Gun at Us, Smashed Cell Phone For Filming Fatal Shooting | The Blaze (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/witness-police-pointed-gun-at-us-smashed-cell-phone-for-filming-fatal-shooting/)
Seeing as the guy says his phone is busted and they have video evidence of the cop pointing a gun at them, I'd say it is true. Cops like this should be fired, and brought up on charges. We allow our cops to get away with too much these days.

There are lots of issues coming from police departments when they're being filmed during stops. As far as I'm concerned, if they're not doing anything wrong no reason they shouldn't be able to be filmed. It actually, gasp, gives the person accused of something evidence in a court room.

In MD it gets very muddy as to if you can or can't film. I found this interesting. I can easliy see both sides.

I can't at all. I think cops should be filmed at all times. Otherwise they roll unchecked. Somebody needs to police the police.
lol @ that video. Patriot Act is such a joke. It's really saving lives guys...hahaha

yeah that guy in the video is a jackass though, the cops come up and ask him what he is doing and he replies um um taking pictures of trains i like them, sorry but get the f outta here, and then asked for id and refuses, sorry but he had it coming he wanted to be a dick. if he has nothing to hide why not just say i'm taking pictures of the before and after of transit systems, granted i turned the video off after he refused to give his id but from what i saw this guy was asking for trouble. he could have easily explained what he was doing and been on his way.

Those cops didn't write the law so I see their side that they need to enforce it, hence their job. Plus I can see where filming major transportation hubs may be an act a terrorist would do to gain information about that area.
I can also see how it is annoying to the civilian as well and infringes on his rights.
If it was me and the cops asked me to stop filming I would if he asked for my ID I show it to him. I don't have anything to hide and really why take pictures of Baltimore, it is a city you should try to forget.

That is ****ing pathetic. Dude should be fired immediately. No sense in bullying tactics from police officers. This isn't a police state. (well, not yet)

I like the part where he says he should have executed the guy on the spot.
It would be a shame if that cop still has a job.
